Question

What’s the volume of the cake if the radius is 8 inches
and the height is 5 inches?

Answer 1

1005 in^3

Explanation:

Think of this cake as a cylindrical solid of base radius 8 in and height 5 in.

The volume is V = (base area)(height), which here is:

V = (pi)*(8 in)^2*(5 in) = 320pi in^3, or approximately 1005 in^3
